Ranked #3 in Best Grill Covers

UNICOOK Heavy Duty Waterproof Barbecue Grill Cover 58-Inch

4.4

$44

UNICOOK's 58-inch Heavy Duty cover is the value pick for shoppers who want true waterproofing instead of the water-resistant treatments on the Classic Accessories Veranda and the Weber OEM lineup. Bob Vila singled it out as Best for Cold Weather because the vinyl coating stays flexible to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, where most PVC covers crack. The trade-off is bulk: the cover is noticeably heavier and stiffer than the Weber polyester, which makes off-season folding awkward but also makes it more durable in tropical-rain climates where the lighter polyester covers wick through after extended exposure.

Strengths

— Solution-dyed polyester with full PVC undercoating is genuinely waterproof rather than water-resistant
— Bob Vila tested it as the Best for Cold Weather pick because the fabric does not crack down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit
— Wide covered-mesh vents prevent the condensation and mildew buildup common to non-vented vinyl covers

Watch-outs

— Heavier and stiffer than a polyester-only cover; harder to fold for off-season storage
— Vinyl coating can develop a faint plasticky smell when first unboxed in hot sun
— No warranty period published by the manufacturer

Higher ratedRanked #4 in Best Grill Covers

Weber 7150 Premium Grill Cover for 22-Inch Charcoal Kettles

4.7

$40

The Weber 7150 is the OEM cover for any 22-inch Weber kettle, including the Original Kettle, Master-Touch, and Performer charcoal grills (use the 7152 if you want a cover sized for the Performer Premium/Deluxe's larger side table). It is the highest-rated cover in this comparison on Weber's own product page (4.7 out of 5 across 356 reviews) and the obvious recommendation for owners of any of those grills. The polyester construction is the same UV-inhibited fabric Weber uses on its gas grill premium line, which means it stays pliable in winter where vinyl bargain covers crack, and the three-year warranty is the longest in this comparison.

Strengths

— Tailored sleeve fit for any 22-inch Weber kettle (Original, Master-Touch, Performer) looks like part of the grill
— 100% polyester construction stays pliable in subfreezing temperatures where vinyl alternatives crack
— UV inhibitors built into the fabric resist fading better than house-brand kettle covers

Watch-outs

— Spot-clean only; cannot be machine washed if it gets heavily soiled
— Sized only for 22-inch kettles; will not fit 26-inch Master-Touch (use the 7153) or 18-inch Jumbo Joe
— Does not extend over the wheels, leaving the lower cart exposed

How they stack up

UNICOOK Heavy Duty Waterproof Barbecue Grill Cover 58-Inch

More fully waterproof than the Classic Accessories Veranda 73912 (PVC undercoating vs Gardelle laminate) but heavier and harder to fold. Less tailored than the Weber 7139 Premium for Spirit owners but fits a much wider range of grills and costs half as much. The right pick for shoppers who prioritize all-weather sealing over OEM-matched aesthetics.

Weber 7150 Premium Grill Cover for 22-Inch Charcoal Kettles

Tailored for 22-inch Weber kettles, not the rectangular cart-style grills the Classic Accessories Veranda 73912 or UNICOOK Heavy Duty target. Same fabric-and-warranty story as the Weber 7139 Premium for Spirit gas grills but in a fitted kettle shape. The right pick for any 22-inch Weber kettle owner; not appropriate for kamado-style grills (use the Kamado Joe heavy-duty cover instead).
